Learning Deep Representations, Embeddings and Codes from the Pixel Level of Natural and Medical Images
DownloadFall 2013
Significant research has gone into engineering representations that can identify high-level semantic structure in images, such as objects, people, events and scenes. Recently there has been a shift towards learning representations of images either on top of dense features or directly from the...

3D reconstruction is an important topic in both computer vision and computer graphics. Many techniques have been proposed for objects with Lambertian reflectance. It assumes that the reflected light from the object surface is uniformly distributed in all directions. However, light interacts with...

Machine Learning for Robust Tracking of Interface Level Inside a Primary Separation Vessel in the Presence of Occlusions and Noise
DownloadSpring 2021
A Primary Separation Vessel (PSV), used in the oil sands industry, is an important process equipment, where Bitumen is separated from the oil sand using a density based separation process. The interface level between a bitumen rich layer (froth) and a layer that has moderate amounts of bitumen in...
